Abstract

For highly loaded compressor blades a significant improvement in performance prediction of hybrid RANS-LES methods compared to widely used RANS methods has been observed. The flow in an axial compressor close to stall conditions is simulated by DDES calculations on two different geometrical models to investigate the influence imposing periodicity of different domain sizes on the flow. Time traces of integral forces are compared for both configurations. Time averaged results of the simulations are compared to experiments. It is found that the direct periodicity of the one blade domain damps important features of the separated flow. This is expected to be particularly relevant to the phenomenon of Rotating Instability.
